I went to the railway station -- for rushing to Bikaner -- and there I received another call that my boy attained martyrdom. The Army and the regime paid unalloyed respect to my son,” Mr Gandhi said in a voice whose tone and timbre made it clear that pride and grief were battling each other to be the uppermost emotion.
